HI, im new here if neone didnt see my last/first few 'freak out' threads, and things are going good so far i've got the manky old, fecal ridden, safety hazard, sand outa there and hes on newspaper now. I got the t-rex thermo/hygrometer double pack and thats been lookin ok i've tested it using the heat matt. i also got a new 'hot hide' today and a light timer switch(ideally i'd like to hook it up to an autodimmer to really make him at home but thats for another day). I know the humidity is at around 45% which i know is bad... but whats ideal? because hes blue in the darn eyes already!?!?! (from today)

And as for my feeder/breeder mice... they are freaks, lolol! i think they've gone mental... after all i've done rescuin' em and that, like they're in the lap of luxery, and they're breeding like hell, and they seldom stay out of the nest when im near the tank and i can't disturb it yet, so feeding has been a problem. They tend to not know the concept of a running wheel, and jump around like headless monkeys. OK enough of the smalltalk, balk to dime... well have a few questions that i would appreciate answered, um... so hes going into molt so i'll lay off the feeding(if i can catch the darn things). maybe try once or so. How long does molt take? and what % should the humidity be at and what are the means of achieving good humidity? i've seen the DIY humidifier but what do you guys use? i think im gonna try a humid hide from like a plastic cereal holder for now cuz they're real cheap and seems like a good idea. Would this be sufficient? and this ones a biggy... should i keep my heat matt inside the hotter gradient hide cave? because the surface temp of the matt i've got (its popular i know but forget brand... its the most popular) is 110oF but. took him a while to find it but he found it and doesnt have to crawl under the undersized bark chip. thanks for anyone who reads this or and/or replys and i'll have pictures up on here soon cuz i have loadz on my phone and needa get the usb leed and the digicam from my dads.

cheerios
